Lara V. Marcuse, MD, and Madeline C. Fields, MD, are the co-directors of the Mount Sinai Epilepsy Program. Dr. Marcuse joined the faculty of the Mount Sinai School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in 2009. She is board certified in neurology and neurophysiology. Dr. Marcuse received her BA in mathematics and neurobiology from Cornell University and her medical degree from the Albert Einstein College of Medicine. In medical school, she received the Daniel Mann Award for her outstanding service to underserved communities. She did her medical internship, neurology residency, and neurophysiology fellowship at the NYU-Langone Medical Center. She served as chief resident for neurology in her final year of residency.
The Mount Sinai Epilepsy Program comprises a multidisciplinary team including neurologists, neurosurgeons, researchers, nurses, neuro-psychologists, technicians, nutritionists, and psychiatrists. The Program has been accredited as a Level 4 Center by National Associations of Epilepsy Centers.
Dr. Marcuse is commited to decreasing the suffering of people with epilepsy--of every age, cognitive ability, socioecoomic background, sexual orientation, or cultural background. For each patient she strives for freedom from seizures and from the debilitating side effects from medication. To achieve this, all possibilities are explored including medication, cannibidiol, complementary therapies, epilepsy diets, and epilepsy surgery. We offer all of the surgical interventions available in this country including vagus nerve stimulation (VNS), responsive neurostimulation (RNS/NeuroPace), deep brain stimulation (DBS), resective surgery, laser interstitial thermal therapy (LITT), and sterotactic EEG (SEEG).

Physicians and scientists on the faculty of the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai often interact with pharmaceutical, device and biotechnology companies to improve patient care, develop new therapies and achieve scientific breakthroughs. In order to promote an ethical and transparent environment for conducting research, providing clinical care and teaching, Mount Sinai requires that salaried faculty inform the School of their relationships with such companies.
Dr.Marcuse did not report having any of the following types of financial relationships with industry during 2017 and/or 2018: consulting, scientific advisory board, industry-sponsored lectures, service on Board of Directors, participation on industry-sponsored committees, equity ownership valued at greater than 5% of a publicly traded company or any value in a privately held company. Please note that this information may differ from information posted on corporate sites due to timing or classification differences.
Mount Sinai's faculty policies relating to faculty collaboration with industry are posted on our website.
Patients may wish to ask their physician about the activities they perform for companies.
Physicians who provide services at hospitals and facilities in the Mount Sinai Health System might not participate in the same health plans as those Mount Sinai hospitals and facilities (even if the physicians are employed or contracted by those hospitals or facilities).
Information regarding insurance participation and billing by this physician may be found on this page, and can also be obtained by contacting this provider directly. Because physicians insurance participation can change, the insurance information on this page may not always be up-to-date. Please contact this physician directly to obtain the most up-to-date insurance information.
Insurance and health plan networks that the various Mount Sinai Health System hospitals and facilities participate in can be found on the Mount Sinai Health System website.
